Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth, which are custom-made to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or even all of your teeth.
Dental implants work by fusing with your jawbone over time in a process called osseointegration. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a connector known as an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment serves as a base for the replacement tooth or teeth to be secured to.
Dental implants are typically considered a cosmetic procedure and are not covered by most dental insurance plans. However, we can help you navigate your insurance coverage and explore financing options to make the treatment more affordable.
Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution for missing teeth and can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. Regular brushing and flossing, as well as routine check-ups with your dentist, are essential for ensuring the longevity of your dental implants.
